Abstract [en]

Educational psychologists operate across diverse educational contexts spanning from early childhood to tertiary education and are frequently tasked with contributing to the educational success of individuals singled out for special attention. This chapter adopts a more comprehensive approach, one that endorses a perspective of the field that seeks to elucidate learning processes in both formal and informal settings, inform pedagogical strategies, and foster social and emotional development. Consequently, by presenting a synthesis of three examples of Q methodology, this chapter delineates how Q methodology contributes to the domain of educational psychology that endeavors to enhance the efficacy, inclusivity, and supportiveness of teaching and learning for all learners. The first example explores young people’s definitions of bullying, highlighting Q methodology’s reputation as an ethical approach amplifying the perspectives of all individuals. The second example examines a recent study on the emotional responses of family members to their predominantly implicit language policies. Finally, the chapter introduces EDU-Q, and thereby offers a pragmatic illustration of how Q sorting, arguably the most salient aspect of Q methodology, can be employed in various educational settings to facilitate reflective practice and critical thinking and thereby support the work of educational psychologists and practitioners in diverse educational contexts.
